HDMI cable connected from new HP Spectre i5, 4Gb, 128Meg, (WIN 8.1) to TV, picture fine but no sound

Hi.. HP spectre G4X24PA#ABG, bought a few days ago, links in via HDMI cable to Sony HD TV - picture fine but no sound.. tried Control Panel, Sound etc but no HDMI sound to click and make say default??   IDT High Definition Audio Codec listed but no connect to HDMI - suspect drivers not up-to-date?? But HP assistant says all is up to date??  Have looked on web - many answers for Win XP/Vista etc but I am running WIN 8.1- can always connect external speakers or use Y-connector but I think this single HDMI cable SHOULD work?? Any help much appreciated - first post so please treat me gentle  (and as a new silly nerd head please... i.e simple replies please...)!!
This question was solved.

Solved this??.   does appear to be the  order in which the equipment is connected... first, HDMI cable connected to TV and computer, then switch on computer, then switch on TV.. seems to work with picture and sound coming from TV each time so far...   (Plus, on one occasion I had to check "mute" was off!!)

  • HDMI cable connected from TV to Mac, what do I click on to get the movie on my laptop screen to show on my TV screen?

    HDMI cable connected from TV to Mac, what do I click on to get the movie on my laptop screen to show on my TV screen?

    When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to use the MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

  • No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?

    I have just connected my AppleTV 2 with my Pioneer ELITE 910 HD Plasma TV system.  I have a hard wire ether net connected.  I have a great picture coming out of the HDMI connection from AppleTV plugged into my ELITE 910 HDMI Media Receiver.  But I am not hearing audio.  I have gone through the 'settings' menu on the AppleTV screen and have every setting correct (I believe)   It might appear that I may have to purchase an Optical Digital Audio Cable that would input into my Pioneer ELITE VSX-54TX receiver (that does have an Optical Digital Input that has not been used.)
    Am I on the right track?  I was hoping the video AND audio would travel through the HDMI connection.   I don't want to spend money on the cable if I don't need it.

    Re: No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?
    Yes, audio and video should go via HDMI.
    Do other peripherals work ok with the pioneer over HDMI.
    My LG BlueRay player works fine.  My TIVO works fine -- good audio and video
    AppleTV is a bit odd with audio at times.
    Does the pioneer media box handle doilby digital and linear PCM?
    I don't know what "linear PCM" is.  All the specs on this 2004 system are here:
    http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/pioneer-pro910hd.html
    If you have Dolby Digital set to Auto I'd expect you to get some audio - if set to On and media box can't decode DD then you may get no sound.
    Try cycling those settings as well as the one for audoo bit depth.
    Have done all this.  Still no audio

  • Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

    Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
    We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
    We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
    In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
    The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
    <session-tracking
    cookies="enabled">
    </session-tracking>
    This all works fine in most cases.
    The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
    1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
    2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
    If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
    oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
    From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
    Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
    The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
    Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
    We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

    You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
    I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
    Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
    I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
    I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
    I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • HDMI cable connection to MBP

    Should the MBP be powered off or sleeping before plugging in the HDMI cable to connect a TV or does it matter? I notice when I plug in the cable with both TV and MBP turned on, the MBP screen will flicker for a few seconds until the display shows up on the TV. Is that normal?

    It doesn't matter if the Mac is powered on or off.  The flickering when you connect to the TV is normal.  Your MBP is sensing the resolution capabilty of your TV and resetting accordingly to give you the best quality on both screens.
    Note: if you are using mirror mode, the TV will be limited by the maximum resolution of your MBP's own screen.  If you are using extended desktop mode you can independently set the resolution of your MBP screen and your TV's display.

  • Cable connection from 6230i to Laptop

    I am having trouble connecting my new 6230i via a genuine Nokia DKU cable to my laptop which is running the very latest version (6.8) of PC suite. My laptop is running Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
    The 6230i displays the following message:
    Enhancement not supported
    What can I do to correct this?

    If the phone shows "enhancement not supported", it's either going to be that you're using the wrong cable, or there's a problem with either the cable or the phone.
    Check the silver sticker at the USB end of the cable for details of what the cable is... if it has the word Nokia on it and says that it's either a DKU-2 or a CA-53, it should be fine, so I'd suggest testing the cable with a different phone if you have one, and testing the phone with a different cable if you have one. If you don't happen to be able to get hold of others to test it yourself, just take cable and phone to a Nokia Service Point to get them checked out... find your nearest one hereMessage Edited by mobile_maniac on 29-May-2006

  • No sound over HDMI, picture works fine but in sound manager tells me HDMI not connected

    Hi There
    I have a tm2 1050ez and am experiencing problems with my HDMI port.
    When I connect it the display automatically gets duplicated and everything works fine, but when I try to play a movie with vlc for example I do not get any sound through the TV, only on the tablet.
    Of course I went into the sound manager because I suspected that you must tell the tm2 where to play the sound, but to my surpise it said that the HDMI cable was not connected?
    I therefore could not make any changes to the default output device...
    Even in the IDT application wants to tell me that the HDMI cable is not connected. I have plugged and unplugged it several times to no avail.
    I hope someone can help me on the above, I already searched the net for several hours but havn't seen a similar problem, with the most problems it does show the cable as conneted..
    Thanks in advance!

  • Picture ok - but no sound, HDMI-connected

    The picture is ok on a rented film - but no sound. I have tried both HDMI-connections.
    Sune, Denmark

    Hi Winston,
    I have Apple TV on - in the lower right corner of the iTunes - if it is this you mean.
    I have also - in system settings - under Sound - marked Apple TV - and AirPlay.
    Above this line is a programme called WiFi2HiFi.
    Can it make some disturbances?
    Is it supposed to be there or have I faulty installed it myself?

  • HT4241 HDMI hooked in, picture great, but no sound?

    I have an hdmi cable hooked up from my mac to the tv. I can get picture but I cannot get sound. Can someone tell me if there is a setting I need to change and where is it?

    Mary,
    What year is your MBP? Prior to 2010 they didn't carry audio over HDMI. You can get around it by using a separate cable from your headphone jack to audio in on the TV.

  • What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

    I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card.   For best quality, which cable should I use?
    On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
    On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
    -5 B-Y OUT
    -4 Y OUT
    -3-R-Y OUT
    -7-R-Y IN
    -8-Y IN
    -9 B-Y IN
    -15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
    -10 AES/EBU OUT
    -12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
    With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable.  On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
    On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT). 
    How should I connect this?  Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI? 
    Any help is much appreciated. 

    Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300.  I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector.  I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video.  I also read how well BMPro improves image quality.  So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be). 
    Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both.  But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter. 
    I guess I’m wondering what is better quality: 
    Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
    Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
    (I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)
